Howdy folks. It's time to give everyone another update on the state of the EU PvP populations. The good news is that this is just about the last update you will need to read. Why? Because the PvP merger tools are in place, tested, and just about ready to go.

Where We Currently Stand
The actual merge process that will bring the populations of Darathar, Gorenaire, and Talendor together with their new friends on Venekor will take approximately one day. The related week of free character transfers for all servers will last, yup seven days. After that seven day period passes, the free transfer window will close and normal services and rates will apply.

As such, the scheduling of these events needs to take place in a timeframe when we have one full week to get it all done without interference. That means we can't have any major updates to the game going on at the same time that we are moving your characters about. Which means the server merge and character transfers have to wait until the next Game Update is in.

Don't Shoot the Messenger!
Wait! Don't get angry! That's good news! Why? Because it's a tricky way of saying "There is a Game Update coming in the next week!" That's right; Game Update #34 is slated to hit the live servers on April 25th, with the usual offset for our international friends. Because of that, the PvP merge and character transfers are going to get started on April 30th.

This gives the dev team extra time to test the tools related to the merge and transfers, and also ensures that we won't have characters moving all about the servers at the same time that we are adding new fundamentals to the game itself.

So, at long last, we have a concrete set of dates to share with you. For our friends in Europe, the light is now in full view at the end of the tunnel, and there are no more questions about when.

In summation:

* Game Update 34 on April 25th.
* PvP server merges on April 30th.
* Then one week of free character transfers.

I'd like to thank everyone for their patience while this was worked out.

Good to know, and easy to gloss over because "EU" appears in the subject.
